USAopoly unveils new classic #Ghostbusters puzzles!

USAopoly has unveiled a new slate of puzzles inspired by the 1984 cult classic movie Ghostbusters!

Launched to coincide with the release of the 2016 reboot of the Ghostbusters franchise, the 550-piece artist illustrated puzzles are currently available on Amazon and in speciality retailers across the US and Canada.

"The Ghostbusters franchise continues to resonate with consumers across all demographics. The logo remains one of the most recognisable elements of the brand, followed by Slimer, Stay Puft, the Ecto-1 and the Proton Packs," read a statement from USAopoly.

"All these elements are part of the extensive merchandise programme that have been taking original fans back to their childhoods."

30 years after the franchise first launched to screens, Hollywood director Paul Feig has been charged with bringing a fresh take on Ghostbusters, joined by a cast including Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Chris Hemsworth.

The new film will hit theatres across the US from July 15th. Check out the image of the new Ghostbusters puzzle below:

Obviously, Aykroyd wouldn’t let on to anything about story details, but he did tease that it’ll try and recapture what worked so well about the original films while giving it a “21st century” twist.

If so, there's good news from the world of Gozer — there’s a new Ghostbusters movie in the works!

Entertainment Weekly has learned exclusively that Jason Reitman will direct and co-write an upcoming film set in the world that was saved decades previously by the proton pack-wearing working stiffs in the original 1984 movie, which was directed by his father, Ivan Reitman.

“I’ve always thought of myself as the first Ghostbusters fan, when I was a 6-year-old visiting the set. I wanted to make a movie for all the other fans,” Reitman says. “This is the next chapter in the original franchise. It is not a reboot. What happened in the ‘80s happened in the ‘80s, and this is set in the present day.”
